Locals call this one ''Toes in the Water,'' and once you're standing on the deck with the Atlantic just across the street, the name makes sense. A three-bedroom, two-bath cottage on Oak Island's second row, 1918 E Beach Drive keeps it simple: one open living space, porches and decks at every turn, and the beach a short walk from the front steps. Designed for easy living, the open-concept layout creates a natural gathering space for family and friends. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, dual kitchens, and a flex space on the ground level (not included in square footage) provides flexibility whether you're hosting guests or settling in full time. Many upgrades have been made to this home including a new roof, water heater and HVAC. One of the home's standout features is the variety of outdoor spaces.The upper deck catches the morning sun and the color over the water at the end of the day. The screened porch is the spot for a slow coffee or a paperback.. And the covered lower porch stays shady and private in the afternoon -a different view, and a different pace, for every part of the day. You're steps from the local's hot spot -- Middleton Park, home to the OKI Summer Concert Series, splashpad, and pickleball, plus restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops, and boutiques. The island sits close to historic Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach, with the lighthouse, golf club, and more, all nearby.

Coastal living doesn't have to be complicated. At 339 NE 50th Street, you'll find a beautifully updated island cottage that captures everything people love about Oak Island--water views, walkable streets, easy beach access, and a slower pace of life.
